:laugh::good:

I dont now how i can do post message for all.

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

so if anybody is interested, visit the site and try the root on your own desire 500. I cannot guarantee it works at all, neither it's safe. but if anybody gonna test (use google translate for the site), please do so and report.
If the thread violates any xda rules, please mods move/delete it or pm me.
Enjoy

OK, seems what i posted didn't work well. BUT, @oblikas seems to have made a kernel that removes system write protection.
[KERNEL][ROOT]KangBang_r1 kernel for Desire 500 * System write protection removed *
HTC Desire 500 - Ultimate thread

i suggest you keep up with his thread, rather than this one. if all is fine, i can re-organize this thread.
Thanks

Not jet. Just read it

Shall try this on weekend. But FYI, I do not have "One Sim" version. And looking forward SPSPaWn thread to see does anybody already try it...

At the moment all about he write is for Dual Sim model, but on the Koush site, Desire 500 is not supported ...jet. So. maybe is better to wait little bit more

007gamer · Oct 15, 2013

I would suggest you to unlock your bootloader first,but you will lose your warranty.
Maybe it wont work without unlocking the bootloader.I tried without unlocking the bootloader and it didnt work.
Maybe someone could port cwm for our device.

Yes. I confirm that metod working. I managed to unlock the bootloader (htcdev.com), then to install CWMRecovery and to root the Desire 500 (one sim). It would be the time for opening a topic dedicated to HTC Desire 500...maybe someone is reading this.

waspa · Oct 16, 2013

anybody please give me htc desire 500 stock wallpapers thanks

007gamer · Oct 18, 2013

What about custom roms?

Edit : Root works ! Amazing, thanks.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, i rooted to change the density of the display..Now everything is messed up.

tibi73 · Oct 19, 2013

This is the risk of rooting the phone! You have to know surely what you're gonna do, else you'll have a messed up phone. After rooting, I strongly advise to do a backup under CWM recovery, this way you keep your chance to revert everything back to the initial status.

007gamer · Oct 19, 2013

I made a backup .

Waiting for some developers and a nice custom rom.

mobile lover · Oct 20, 2013
